So ive been doing some searching and have found alot of people saying the mylan generic for clonazapam is shit. Now i know those are based on opinions but is there anyone that can tell me in absolute positivity that mylan is far less superior then say for instance the teva brand? Im kinda worried becasue i just filled my script and i was getting TEVA brand until i switched pharmacy's and now i got stuck with 120 1mg mylan klonopin and am worried they will not do the trick. Any feedback would be appreciated.
 
I used to use teva Kpin and on occasion I would receive mylans. The only difference I notice was that occasionally when I broke the mylan in half, I would get near a full dose off one half. So sometimes the drug is unevenly distributed within the pill.
 
^ This may be possible, but as far as one generic being "more potent" than another, it's not possible. Do you know what happens to a pharmaceutical company that sells 0.7mg pills as 1.0mg? Of course you don't, because the cost of the drug is small compared to the cost of manufacturing and distribution, so there is no incentive. Additionally, they would be fined into oblivion and lose their license to sell medication.
 
I just got the Teva brand Klonopin.
In my opinion it feels a lot weaker than the Mylan brand.
Had to up my normal dosage when I got teva (and i don't take it on a regular basis, just for bad panic attacks or fits of anxiety).
 
Shpongle, we don't allow brand comparison here - check the guidelines in my sig.

The reason for this is that there are strict rules governing the production of medicines and it is highly unlikely that one brand would produce pills that have a lower (or higher) amount of the active ingredient than another. The formulation may be different, so they may dissolve and kick in marginally faster for example, but that is all. If anyone has any hard evidence then let me know via PM, but until then the no brand discussion rule stands I am afraid (the exception is for things like the OP oxycontins or different brands of fentanyl patch as the design is different enough to have a significant impact on how you prep/take the drug).

Closed, pm me with any queries :)
